Key Coaching points: (Attacking)

• Staggered position between FB & Winger
• Exploit space behind the Opposition wing back and Centre back
• Go direct, wide and over their wide CBs. Make their defenders turn and run and then midfield provide support
• Good quality crosses into the box
• Up-back-AROUND and Up-back-OVER will draw their players out and give our forwards opportunities.
• GK – CB – space behind LCB: can RW drop and RB swop and then create 2v1?
• #9 movement in the box to score goals
• Opposite Wingers into the box
• #10 inside the penalty area available for cut back
• Overlaps & Underlaps from fullbacks to create the overloads
